Long-term Value for Our Customers

Wherever we can, we focus on the complementary integration of solar and other energy sources for our customers' facilities. We're keeping pace with the latest improvements in storage, advanced inverters, energy efficiency, demand response and the smart grid as we drive toward cleaner, more reliable, and affordable energy systems. Every project we install creates longterm value for our customers in many ways.

Longtime Solar Installation Expertise and Innovation

We've been installing solar energy systems since the 1970s and bring decades of valuable knowledge to your project. If you choose us for a solar project, we'll always be around for maintenance, upgrades, and other needs.

Our PV solar projects include the famous Sierra Nevada Brewery in Chico, which boasts one of the largest rooftop installations in the country, and Butte Community College, the first college in the nation to achieve grid-positive solar generation.
